Chapter 41 Stay With Me Tonight
iliated by a mere taxi driver to the point of being completely disrespected and endlessly apologizing, with no dignity whatsoever"Jian Tong trembled and blurted out, "Did you send someone to follow me...Jian Tong's earlobes instantly flushed hot, it was too clear, that person's breath, spraying on her earlobe, even if she wanted to ignore it, it was difficult.
"Sir, please let go first," she said.
What she hadn't expected was that instead of letting go, he deliberately teased her, pressing his lips against her ear and saying in a suggestive tone, "No problem."
Indeed, he let go of her hand, but... this man's lips, they ambiguously nibbled on her earlobe.
Jian Tong was dumbfounded. Among the people she had met, none were as troublesome as this.
He really let go… yes!
But... don't let it slip.
And that voice, was also very strange.
Jian Tong's heart felt even stranger... She was certain she didn't recognize this unfamiliar man.
Then she remembered Mr. Xu's warning at the entrance of the private room. Although she was very reluctant, she endured it nonetheless.
Carefully craning her neck, she tried to steal a glance at the person in front of her with the corner of her eye.
"At that moment, there was an empty space before him, and the man stepped back half a step. "If you want to look, just look openly."
Boom!
Her face flushed red... It was the awkwardness of being caught peeking at someone else.
Though she was in a predicament, she also saw this person's appearance. A glimmer of amazement flashed in her eyes, but the next second, Jian Tong's eyes returned to their usual calm state.
Keane's hazel eyes flashed with interest, along with a hint of the blood-red excitement of a hunt gone too far.
A slight upturn of his lips told those familiar with him that he was undoubtedly in high spirits.
Anyone who has seen his face must have been amazed. Whether man or woman, they are always bewitched by this stunning visage... Thinking of this, a subtle trace of revulsion flashed across Cain's beautiful features—perhaps no one in the world hates his captivating beauty more than he himself!
Jian Tong raised her hand and slowly wiped at her ear, removing the sensation on its surface. She still disliked being touched by others.
Kane's amber eyes narrowed suddenly, finding the woman increasingly intriguing.
She is a contradiction.
I have never seen a more humble woman than her, yet she is unaware that no matter how humble she appears, the slightest little movements will still betray her.
She's a tough woman to conquer, a good catch... Interesting.
"Want to have a drink" he asked.
"Sir, I don't know why you called me over, but I think you should know one thing: I don't drink. Apart from that, I can do anything."
"Oh~ Anything goes"
Cain chuckled softly, "Then I'd like you to spend the night with me."
As soon as Kane finished speaking, Jian Tong's expression became quite expressive.
Her mind was still buzzing, she stared blankly at the man in front of her with his devilishly handsome face... She never thought that in her current state, there would be a man interested in her.
Looking at the woman who had been taciturn and devoid of interest since entering the private room, now with a colorful face and an astonished, incredulous expression, Kane felt elated. He reached into his pocket for a checkbook and pen, quickly scribbled a series of numbers, signed his name, and, with his long fingers, handed the check to Jane:
"Take this, I have something to do today, I'll come back and find you next time."
Jian Tong didn't reach out to take the check. She glanced at the amount on the check...one hundred thousand!
She hasn't done anything, in the time she's been here, just a moment, and this person is giving her one hundred thousand
Abruptly, I raised my head to look at the man, my heart racing with a thousand thoughts... Could it be that what he just said was true, and not just a joke
Could it be that this person is really going to...
"Don't overthink it, I have something to do tonight and won't be taking you back to keep me company."
Jian Tong let out a breath: "It doesn't need to be this much." She was referring to the amount Kain's check was written for.
With a chuckle, a melodious voice said, "This is what you deserve. You've brought me joy. I think this is too little to buy me a good mood."
“...”
"Hold on. Didn't your superiors teach you to listen to customers and fulfill their needs" Cain chuckled, pulling Jian Tong's hand over and slipping a check into her palm.
In my palm, it was burning hot. This money came too unexpectedly. I instinctively wanted to refuse, but then I remembered she still owed Shen Xiuqin five million... Money, wasn't that exactly what she needed most right now
The palm of her hand was still burning hot, clutching the check like a furnace, scalding and scorching. But her face, it gradually turned pale.
Formerly, she felt humiliated receiving those tips from customers. Now, she takes them with a sense of entitlement.
And as for the 500,000 yuan from Mr. Lu, she could understand it as a kind of sentimentality. After all, in Mr. Lu's eyes, she resembled the woman he loved, and seeing her brought back memories. He was simply extending his affection to her out of that fondness for the person she reminded him of.
But this man who suddenly appeared... she didn't do anything, did she
Kane stood before Jane, towering over her at 187 centimeters. He was half a head taller than her. He lowered his gaze, a smirk playing on his lips as he observed the subtle changes in the woman's expression. It seemed to him that through these minute shifts, he could pierce through Jane's inner turmoil.
And he, his eyes flashed with pleasure—he was savoring the woman's inner struggle.
Ten thousand could appreciate such a wonderful internal struggle, it was the most worthwhile deal she had made since coming to China.
Jian Tong's face was becoming paler and paler, her eyes were struggling. On one hand, she felt that the money was troublesome, but on the other hand, she desperately needed it.
Suddenly, she slowly raised her head. From her angle, she could only see Kane's handsome jawline and the upward curve of his lips. She asked, "Sir, is there anything you need me to do"
Kane's amber eyes flashed a hint of surprise... He had to admit, he underestimated this woman again and again. She always managed to surprise him, to refresh his perception of her time and time again.
A helpless woman, a submissive woman... He's so proud that he must finally truly see the woman he has!
It's undeniable that she needs money. This is evident from her conversation with another woman at the hospital – the woman clearly needs a large sum of money, and urgently so.
Otherwise, how could one endure all the humiliation and do things that almost all women would consider beneath them
Could it be that some people are born despicable
Kane chuckled to himself.
So he gave her money, of course not out of sympathy for her, but simply to see the struggling and conflicted expression on this woman's face. He was gratified to have witnessed it, he had anticipated the beginning, but not the end - she wanted money, but absolutely wouldn't take it for free. This was her attitude.
Hunt!
Victory!
These two words, clear as day in Kane's mind, his long finger lifting to press against his own thin lips, he looked at Jane: "Kiss me."n’t mean anything else, but you would instinctively guard yourself.”"Child, I only hope that you'll stay by my side. That's why I resorted to this... I... had no other choice."The woman listened to th...
